The 2025 Journal of Folklore and Education seeks submissions that amplify and demonstrate the power and the promise of multimodal storytelling to educate. Developing and analyzing the findings of ethnographic documentation also involves creation of transmedia products, from podcasts to poetry, comics to videos. Ethnography provides opportunities for engaging culturally responsive pedagogy and diverse texts that reflect multiple perspectives. Examining community narratives and cultural practices in the classroom and beyond prompts students and audiences to explore the concept of cultural identity, both their own and that of others, in ways that are immediate and nuanced, and contest common misconceptions. The products of media production from the past century can also be found in archives around the world.
Why write for us? We love multimedia submissions. Our Documentary Arts Writers Fund helps support authors in their revision process. As an international, peer-reviewed journal, our audience includes K-12 and higher education, museum education. and community education.

The Arizona State Museum and University of Arizona are located on land that has been home to Indigenous peoples for at least 13,000 years. Today, the Tucson area is home to the Tohono O'odham and the Pascua Yaqui. Currently there are 22 federally recognized Native Nations with ancestral and reservation lands in the state of Arizona. Committed to diversity and inclusion, the University and ASM strive to build sustainable relationships with sovereign Native Nations and Indigenous communities.
